- caterpillar made of tissue paper pom poms
- cake smash photo collage

- welcome sign
- balloons and banners
Food:
- apples, pears, plums, strawberries and oranges (from the story)
- sandwiches (on little rolls made into a caterpillar shape)
- rice cakes and carrot puffs
- cupcakes (made into a caterpillar shape)
Party Bags:
- party bags
- bubbles
- little Very Hungry Caterpillar book
- insect bath toy

- homemade play dough
Play area:
- foam play mats – letters and numbers
- tunnel
- ball pool
- caterpillar themed toys – links, shape sorter, wooden caterpillars, etc
- balls and bubbles for the garden
- colouring sheets and crayons (for older kids)
It was so much fun, even though Ethan was having a teething day, he still managed to have fun and it seemed that everyone else enjoyed it as well. We feel very blessed to have had so many family and friends join us to celebrate our wonderful little boy!
